A Greenlandic tourism business which was due to host Usha Vance has canceled the trip amid the Trump administration's 'underlying agenda' for the visit. [Snip] It was initially billed as a family-friendly holiday with Usha and one of her children... Then it emerged that she would be joined by embattled National Security advisor Mike Waltz, sparking fury among the nation's leaders--including the prime minister. But the final straw came when Usha's husband, Vice President JD Vance revealed he, too, would join her on the trip... [Snip] 'After closer consideration, however, we have now informed the consulate that we do not want her visit,' the store said.
Nearly two weeks ago a federal judge in California, William Alsup, ordered the Trump administration to rehire thousands of probationary government workers who had been fired in February as part of a government downsizing effort. That ruling applied to six agencies: Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy, Interior, Agriculture and Treasury.
Later the same night a second judge in Maryland ordered the rehiring of even more probationary employees at a different collection of agencies.
The agencies covered by U.S. District Judge James Bredar’s sweeping order, issued Thursday night, include the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Labor, State, Transportation and Treasury,
Does the Protection Racket Media need a "reality check"? So said Harry Enten, CNN's estimable polling analyst, yesterday after looking at the most recent polling. The media still covers Donald Trump by assuming his unpopularity, even after winning both the Electoral College and the national popular vote in November.
Not only is Trump at his most popular these days, Enten says, Americans feel better about the country's direction than they have in years. And Democrats hoping to score a rebuke against Trump in the 2026 midterms might need a reality check of their own:
After four long years during which our democracy was under constant peril, one might say the November election cured that crisis, at least for now, returning the American voter and American values to center stage. Zealots of the Left, however, continue their tired chorus of accusation and cancellation. It is staggering how blind to election results and deaf to the voices of voters they seem to be. Wokeness may be in retreat but this core cadre, still including many in legacy media, continue their ranting about existential threats and trying to shame us into shedding crocodile tears over illegals. They have doubled down on their playbook even though
Moms are wonderful creatures. They soothe, and they smooth. They resolve conflict with milk and cookies. Without moms, we wouldn’t be here.
Not all women are moms. Joan of Arc was not a soother or a smoother, and was never a mom. Nor was Amelia Earhart or Queen Elizabeth I.
Even among strong women who were mothers, not all were moms. Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher had children but, to the public at least, they were not moms. Some women can change from a skirt into pants and back again, depending on the setting, and maybe Meir and Thatcher did. Others can’t.
Passwords and private information belonging to top national security officials in the Trump administration have been found online, according to the German publicationDer Spiegel.
In a stunning report published on Wednesday, the paper said its journalists “used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web.” Those whose information was compromised include Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) masterfully handled a smarmy foreign journalist trying to ambush her.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Jeffrey Goldberg, the Trump-hating editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was “accidentally” added to a secure Signal group chat by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen and called them “war plans.”
But instead of leaving the conversation, Goldberg took screenshots of the conversation and ran to his keyboard to try to leak the military operation.
Maxine vs. Melania

Just when you think the far-left circus couldn’t get any more clownish, Congresswoman Maxine Waters grabs a mic and reminds us why she’s the poster child for political absurdity. In a bizarre outburst, Waters floated the idea that former First Lady Melania Trump should have been deported—a statement so mindless, it would be laughable if it weren’t so telling. In her desperate attempt to “own” the Trumps, Waters did something utterly unexpected: she accidentally made the strongest case yet for legal immigration done right.
Four US Army soldiers have died in Lithuania after they disappeared on a training site while on maneuvers just miles from the border, NATO’s Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Wednesday.
The four soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia, were last seen alive on Tuesday riding an armored vehicle during tactical training exercises at a military site near the city of Pabrade, in eastern Lithuania.
The base is about six miles from the border with Belarus — a staunch Russian ally, and comes at a time of ratcheting tensions in the region.
Lithuania’s military has not confirmed the exact details of what happened, but local
The US agency responsible for unaccompanied migrant children will be able to share the immigration status of the kids’ sponsors with law enforcement under the Trump administration — in a move that officials say will protect kids from trafficking and exploitation.
The Office for Refugee Resettlement (ORR) — an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that cares for the migrant children until they can be released — will also be allowed to deny a sponsor based solely on their immigration status, according to a notice published in the Federal Register.

Washington—President Trump announced a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars Wednesday — saying it would boost domestic manufacturing.
Trump, 78, announced the move in the Oval Office, saying that “this is gonna lead to the construction of a lot of plants” to build cars domestically.(Photo) “We’ll effectively be charging a 25% tariff, but if you build your car in the United States, there is no tariff,” he said.
White House staff secretary Will Scharf announced that the action was projected to raise $100 billion in revenue — though analysis has suggested it may also sharply reduce import volume.
FBI Director Kash Patel delivered an excellent performance during his testimony on Capitol Hill today, highlighted by a smackdown of a congresswoman from Pennsylvania when she tried to get him to open a witch-hunt into the Trump Administration over the signal text thread and military plans against the Houthis that leaked.

President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda is winning broad support from Americans, a new poll reveals.
The Pew Research Center survey shows 32 percent of American adults support deporting all illegal aliens, while 51 percent support deporting some illegal aliens. Only 16 percent of Americans said they do not support deporting any illegal aliens from the United States. Of those Americans who support deporting some illegal aliens, 97 percent said illegal aliens who are charged or convicted of violent crimes should be deported, 52 percent said illegal aliens who are charged or convicted of nonviolent crimes should be deported, and 44 percent said illegal aliens who arrived under former
It’s coming up on five months since their epic defeat last November, and Democrats from New York to Texas to California are only getting nuttier.
Start here in Gotham, where City Councilman and comptroller hopeful Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) wants to divest city pensions of Tesla stock.
Not because it’s a bad investment (it’s up more than 22,000% all time, though down of late) but because “Elon Musk is deadly for democracy.”
In other words, screw the retired cop or teacher seeing good returns, and/or the taxpayers who’ll have to make good if the fund falls short; screw the green-car movement Tesla supercharged: Elon Musk baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
Leftist judges want to turn President Donald Trump into a president in name only.
Look at all the ways that individual judges have hamstrung the Trump administration. A district court judge recently blocked President Trump’s executive order removing transgender individuals from the military. Another judge ordered the Trump administration to send two men who are pretending to be women into a women’s prison. One federal judge ordered the administration to restore government webpages that promote the left’s transgender narrative.
A different district court judge stopped the Trump administration from disbanding the wasteful USAID. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appointed Jeremy Lewin to a high-level position in USAID.
President Donald J. Trump floated the possibility that the Biden regime’s J6 political prisoners could be financially compensated for their hellish experience, an idea that is guaranteed to send Democrats into apoplectic fits of rage.
The president made his remarks during an interview with Greg Kelly of Newsmax that aired Tuesday night, emphasizing that those who were hunted down like dogs by their own government and jailed for participating in the election protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, had been “treated very unfairly” under his predecessor.
On his first day in office, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people who were persecuted
President Trump on Wednesday said he will put a 25% tariff on automobiles imported into the U.S., escalating his administration's use of aggressive trade measures in an effort to boost domestic manufacturers.
After White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the tariffs would be detailed at a 4 p.m. EST by Mr. Trump, Wall Street shuddered, with the S&P 500 tumbling by 1.2% in late afternoon trading. Because tariffs are taxes on imports that are largely passed onto U.S. consumers, they can cause households to cut back on spending and dampen economic growth, according to experts.
A divided federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration could not immediately use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
The 2-1 ruling was handed down two days after a contentious hearing before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in which the Justice Department tried to lift a 14-day stay imposed by DC US District Judge James Boasberg.
During the hearing, Judge Patricia Millett harshly questioned the Trump Justice Department about its handling of the deportations — at one point saying, “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act [during World War II] than has happened here.”
Two Mexican nationals are accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy on board a cruise ship bound for Miami, Florida.
Mexican nationals Ricardo Daniel Mondragon Leal, 37 years old, and Jose Juan Prudencio Diaz, 36 years old, were arrested by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and charged with child sex crimes after allegedly assaulting a boy on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
According to police, Leal and Diaz were in the ship’s sauna with the 14-year-old boy when the incident occurred.
Vice President JD Vance served lunch to Marines Wednesday at Quantico’s Dwyer Chow Hall and also took time to shoot a medium-range machine gun.
TimesNowNews reported that Vance told the Marines, “[President Trump] wanted me to tell you two things. First, that he loves you. And second, that he’s proud of you.”
Vance, a former Marine, also told the service members of the crucial role the USMC played in his life.
Vance’s communications director, William Martin, posted video of Vance shooting the M240B medium machine gun: [Tweet, video]
White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan posted a wider angle of Vance putting rounds downrange:
How President Biden and left activists built the censorship conglomerate is the story of government activists, taxpayer slush funds and a determination by liberals not to share journalism with unwashed conservatives.
A clearer, uncensored picture emerged in the lingering months of Mr. Biden’s rule and its 2025 aftermath. The left’s free speech crackdown was finally exposed by dogged Republican officeholders and conservative foot soldiers.
Hoaxes like the Steele dossier, President Trump and a Russian bank, “Trump grabbed the steering wheel,” exoneration of Wuhan virus lab, Jussie Smollett, Michael Avenatti, Russian bounties on Americans, letter of 51 Obama former intelligence officials — all would have thrived for long destructive shelf lives
Orders for durable goods rose far above expectations in February, climbing 0.9 percent to $289.3 billion, according to the Commerce Department’s report released Wednesday.
Economists had forecast a 1.0 percent decline, but instead, businesses continued to invest heavily in big-ticket items, particularly automobiles, computers, and machinery.
Even excluding transportation, which can be volatile due to large aircraft orders, new orders increased by 0.7 percent, exceeding the forecast of a 0.3 percent gain. The strength of the overall durable goods orders report is further demonstrated by robust gains in key categories.
Auto orders were notably strong, with orders for motor vehicles and parts rising 4.0 percent.

A federal appellate court declined to issue a stay on a lower court's orders in a suit challenging the Trump administration's authority to deport Venezuelan nationals via a 1798 wartime law.
In a 2-1 decision Wednesday, a three-judge panel sided with the plaintiffs in the suit, further blocking the Trump administration's ability to move forward with its deportation agenda.

Force on Tesla Terrorism ‘Political
Weaponization’ of DOJ replies
Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) bizarrely referred to the FBI task force on Tesla terrorism as “lawfare” and the “political weaponization” of the DOJ. Goldman’s statement is especially curious given Democrat’s campaign of lawfare and weaponization against Donald Trump.
“This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk,” Rep. Goldman oddly claimed of the Trump administration investigating an actual series of crimes in a Tuesday X post. [Tweet]
“The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to ‘crack down’ on adversaries of Musk’s. Where are the Republicans so opposed to ‘lawfare’?” the Congressman added.

In Decades Because They’re A Victim
Of The Left’s Failures replies
Fox weekend headline declared that “data show Gen Z ‘most conservative’ generation in decades.” The real question is: Why are we shocked? Gen Z’s lives have been entirely dominated by the lies and failures that the left and the Democrat Party have perpetrated.
Following on the heels of Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials, Generation Z is comprised of individuals born between 1997 and 2012. For such individuals, the ascendancy of the left and the Democrat Party has dominated their lives. According to Gallup polling, in 1997 (the first year of Gen Z) 28 percent of Democrats described their views as liberal (as opposed to conservative or moderate)
Rep. Andy Ogles Introduces Bill to Codify

Trump Executive Order Closing Department
of Education replies
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) on Wednesday introduced legislation to codify President Donald Trump’s executive order shuttering the Department of Education.
President Trump’s executive action, signed last week, calls for the dismantling of the Department of Education, which was created during the administration of former President Jimmy Carter in 1979. However, an act of Congress is required to codify the department’s closure into law, so Rep. Ogles has introduced the Make Education Great Again Act to this end.
“This bill will ensure that Congress permits President Trump’s directive to close the Department and that any cuts made by the Secretary are authorized,” an emailed summary of the measure reads.
Critics are blasting some GOP-run states for failing to enact business-related migration reforms that match the Trump administration’s drive to repair Joe Biden’s border crisis.
One of the few red states to move forward with the Trump administration’s agenda is Indiana where several measures have been ushered through the state legislature.
Numbers USA, which has been working to urge states to pass E-Verify rules and place more limits on welfare and other freebies for illegals, noted that too many red states are dragging their feet on helping Trump ensure his agenda in their states.
The bill Indiana State Attorney General Todd Rokita is talking about is HB 1531, which would allow
A network of companies operated by a secretive Chinese tech firm has been trying to recruit recently laid-off U.S. government workers, according to job ads and a researcher who uncovered the campaign.
Max Lesser, a senior analyst on emerging threats with the Washington-based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said some companies placing recruitment ads were "part of a broader network of fake consulting and headhunting firms targeting former government employees and AI researchers."
Little information is publicly available on the four consultancies and recruitment companies allegedly involved in the network, which in some cases shared overlapping websites,
The Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team announced that they have officially accepted an invite from President Donald Trump to visit the White House — celebrating their 2024 World Series victory.
On Tuesday, the Dodgers team posted on social media in regard to the invite.
They will reportedly visit the White House on April 8th.
The timing is convenient, as the team will already be in D.C. due to a scheduled game the day before, on the 7th.
“In keeping with long-standing baseball tradition, President Trump has invited the 2024 World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House when they play in Washington D.C. on April 7. The Dodgers look forward to

To Hear Lawsuit Over Trump Admin Signal Chat replies
The judge who blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign gang members will hear a lawsuit challenging officials’ use of a Signal chat to discuss attack plans.
American Oversight alleged in its lawsuit Tuesday that the app Signal, where officials hosted a chat about plans to bomb the Houthis in Yemen that included The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, does not comply with federal record laws.
“Upon information and belief, under current State recordkeeping rules and practices, officials do not forward Signal messages, including messages from the Signal chat, to their official email accounts, thereby barring American Oversight and other FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requesters from
The Atlantic felt their story was dying. [Snip] It looks like a nothing burger vis-à-vis a severe breach in classified information, though still an unforced error on behalf of top officials.[Snip]The chats are real, so it’s not a hoax, but the ‘they disclosed classified war plans’ narrative is fake news and hyper-sensationalized. The White House did well to notice how the words “war plans” got stealth edited in the new disclosures, pointing to a tacit acknowledgement that the publication got ahead of their skis on this one, which is a common trait at The Atlantic:
A House Intelligence Committee hearing erupted into a chaotic exchange after Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA) questioned intelligence leaders on whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had been drinking when he took part in a Signal group chat that mistakenly looped in Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg.
The Wednesday hearing, which was supposed to focus on annual worldwide threats, instead provided an opportunity for Democrat lawmakers to repeatedly hammer Hegseth, whom they now feel is vulnerable due to the controversy.
Gomez, however, opted to take a personal swipe at the Secretary and, in the process, furthered an already debunked hoax while pushing the current one.
The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.
While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.
The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district.
When I hear Democrats whine about a duly elected president being a “threat to democracy,” I can’t help but think about a line from “Fight for Your Right” by the Beastie Boys: “Your pops caught you smoking, and he says, ‘No way!’ That hypocrite smokes two packs a day!”
In other words, it’s a bit ridiculous for someone with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth to demand that you refrain from doing the same thing. And this is about as hypocritical as what Democrats are doing when they decry threats to democracy. When Democrats said democracy would be in peril if President Trump won, they neglected to add
President Donald Trump and the courts are in a turf war over the reach of executive and judicial powers. The conflict results from a barrage of nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump administration by left-leaning judges on matters that Trump claims fall within the purview of the executive branch.
In a recent opinion piece in The New York Times, retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig claims that the courts will win this struggle. The opposite is true. The judicial branch will destroy itself — just like the Democratic Party did — if it stubbornly continues to fight Trump on the very issues that put him back into the White House.
When an upside-down American flag was spotted outside the private residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, leftist media essentially painted him as an “insurrectionist.” But by these same standards, Democrats nationwide appear to be staging an “insurrection” of their own.
Leftists across America have adopted the inverted flag, a distress symbol, in recent days to protest the popular policies of President Donald Trump and government efficiency efforts of Elon Musk.
Last month, protesters flew a massive American flag upside down off El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in California, amid cuts to the National Park Service. The Washington Post fearmongered about the cuts, reporting that the Trump administration fired
A Texas real estate company is advertising land along the southern border to Mexican citizens, encouraging them to own “American land,” a marketing strategy that appears to be tailored to foreign nationals and illegal aliens.
The Cayetano Development sells land in the Rio Grande Valley along the southern border and in different areas throughout Texas, encouraging buyers to “own a piece of American land.”
“Within a few weeks you could literally own a piece of American land,” Cayetano tells prospective buyers, adding that it accepts identification from the Mexican government.
The company’s “valid ID” list includes drivers’ licenses, passports, and most notably,
Democrats had some bizarre defenses for NPR and PBS in Wednesday’s House DOGE Subcommittee, with some representatives invoking characters from Sesame Street and The Muppets to attack Republican efforts to cut funding to public broadcasting.
Both PBS and NPR have been heavily criticized for political bias and for advancing leftist ideologies like gender ideology, such as a PBS movie called "Real Boy," which, according to PBS, follows a transgender-identifying teen as he "navigates adolescence, sobriety, and physical and emotional ramifications of his changing gender identity."
The hearing – titled "Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable" – was called by the DOGE Subcommittee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene
We know how Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly reacted when she was told that she wouldn’t be the next president of the United States. It’s part of a new book written by Vanity Fair’s Chris Whipple in Uncharted, which details the former vice president’s ascendency to the top of the ticket via an internal coup to her brutal crash on Election Day, where voters told her and the Democrats, they weren’t interested in them continuing this insane agenda that had destroyed the country.
Excerpts were published, and it’s a little interesting how this campaign came together on the kitchen table at Naval One Observatory.
Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Wednesday announced the death of his father, Richard “Dick” Carlson, with a powerful personal tribute on social media.
Carlson’s father died at the age of 84 on Monday from a six-week-long illness at his home in Boca Grande, Florida, alongside his family and his beloved dogs. The obituary, shared by Carlson, honored his father’s life by pointing to his service in the U.S. Marine Corps. and his journalism career, while describing him as one of the “kindest and most loyal” people his family ever knew.

Immigration authorities reportedly detained a Turkish national student at Tufts University in Massachusetts on Tuesday evening.
Rumeysa Ozturk, a student in the university’s doctoral program for Child Study and Human Development, was arrested while walking to an Iftar dinner when she was “ambushed” by federal authorities, her lawyer told The Boston Globe.
The arrest of Ozturk took place slightly after 5 p.m. Tuesday on Mason Street in Somerville near the Tufts campus, according to a resident who lives nearby and said he witnessed the arrest. (The eyewitness spoke of condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from the federal government.)
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is reportedly planning to hold a hearing next week to address the issue of activist judges using nationwide orders to stymie President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The hearing is set to take place just after the House holds a similar hearing. Grassley told Foxx News Digital that “District judges’ abuse of nationwide injunctions has hobbled the executive branch and raised serious questions regarding the lower courts’ appropriate jurisdictional realm.”
The senator further argued that "Since the courts and the executive branch are on an unsustainable collision course, Congress must step in and provide clarity.”
The purpose of the hearing is to “explore legislative solutions
Last week, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) lamented that the “loon wing of the Democratic Party is firmly in control." Which is a completely fair assessment. Kennedy quipped that the GOP's strategy for handling Democratic extremists was to simply let them run their mouths.
“Our Republican secret plan for dealing with the Democrats is called Operation Let Them Speak,” he said.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) stands at a critical juncture, confronting rising geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, instability in the Middle East, and escalating global strategic competition.
Turkey’s recent use of its veto power against Israel’s participation in a crucial NATO exercise scheduled for September 2025 reveals a troubling internal vulnerability. Ankara’s decision not only harms Israel directly but also undermines the alliance’s broader collective defense framework, weakening its unity precisely when strength and cooperation are needed most.
I think we can all agree that the Democratic Party is in deep trouble.
Whatever poll you look at, the results are the same: approval for the Party is in the mid-to-high 20s, with ordinary voters disgusted by their antics and their bizarre priorities and values. Admittedly, many Democratic Party elected officials are genuinely ideologically captured--cultural or even economic Marxists who believe that the West needs to be destroyed, that children need to be sterilized and mutilated, and that the primary role of government is putting dollars into the pockets of Leftist lunatics.
But at least a plurality, and likely a majority of
There's more good news out of the Middle East, I'm happy to report. On the heels of yesterday's news that the Israeli Defense Force was doing an admirable and rapid job of eliminating Hamas leadership in an explosive game of Whack-a-Mole, today we learn that the Gazans themselves finally show signs of turning against their terrorist government.
We saw tiny signs of this in the awful weeks after the Oct. 7, 2023, terror invasion that kicked off the Israel-Hamas War, such as the old Gazan woman who accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid meant for the people. "Everything goes to [Hamas] houses," she complained.
There’s a narrative shift underway in the whole “Signalgate” kerfuffle. First, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, assured us that the Signal chat he was suspiciously included on discussed classified or top-secret war plans about the Trump administration's planned strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen. That turned out not to be true. Now, the narrative seems to be shifting away from the idea that the chat discussed classified or top-secret plans to blaming the Trump administration for using Signal in the first place.
The real issue here is how Goldberg ended up in the chat in the first place.

Subjecting ‘Ghost Guns’ to Same Rules
as Traditional Firearms replies
The Supreme Court upheld the Biden administration’s regulations on “ghost guns” Wednesday, finding that guns assembled using at-home kits are subject to the same rules as traditional firearms, including requirements that they carry a serial number and that purchasers undergo a federal background check before buying them.
The justices ruled 7-2 in Garland v. VanDerStok to preserve rules imposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms in 2022 to combat what the government called an explosion of “ghost gun” usage in criminal activity. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe “lied” under oath to the Senate Intelligence Committee when denying classified information was included in a Signal group chat on military strikes against the Houthis.[Snip] the reason why I say it’s a pattern, in the first two weeks of the administration, they inadvertently released the names of 200 new CIA agents.[Snip] There’s not a day that goes by that you guys don’t report another one of the DOGE boys in one of classified agencies giving up personal information.

for mocking his wheelchair use: ‘Nothing

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has hit back at left-wing Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) after she mocked his use of a wheelchair, claiming the Democrats have “nothing to sell but hate.”
The firebrand Texas lawmaker was slammed after she branded Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” on Saturday during a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles.[snip]
She responded to the criticism by bizarrely claiming her remarks had nothing to do with Abbott’s disability. “I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition — I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors,
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was an outspoken critic of measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, gained Senate confirmation to head the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in a vote of 53–47 on March 25.
Bhattacharya is aligned on multiple issues with his new boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including addressing the nation’s chronic disease epidemic.
A physician and former Stanford University professor, Bhattacharya first drew public attention in 2020 for his criticism of COVID-19-era interventions such as mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) continues to fund more than a billion dollars in diversity, equity and inclusion programs, even after President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to eliminate them.
While other agencies have moved to eliminate the “illegal and immoral programs” targeted in Trump’s day-one executive order, NIH is still funding over $1.3 billion in active grants that include DEI components — from race-based hiring schemes to “anti-racist” training initiatives and diversity-first faculty pipelines. At least $441 million of those grants explicitly cite DEI in their project descriptions, according to NIH data compiled by watchdog group Do No Harm.
“We welcome this continued relief for tens of thousands of refugees who will now have the opportunity to restart their lives in the United States,” said Melissa Keaney, the progressive lawyer for the elite-funded, anti-borders International Refugee Assistance Project. In a second courtroom in Seattle, another federal judge ordered the Trump administration to keep paying the quasi-government agencies that settle the refugees in Americans’ crowded housing, schools, and workplaces, such as in Springfield, Ohio.
President Donald Trump had a rough ride with the media during his first term. Big media and smaller social media alike often treated Trump with open scorn, and peppered him with insulting epithets, calling him “fascist” or even “Hitler.” Is it better this time? Not much: A majority in the latest I&I/TIPP Poll say he’s still being treated the same or worse as back then.
There’s little doubt, even among those on the left, that Trump is deeply reviled by the mostly left-leaning media. His braggadocio, his aggressive leadership style, his creatively unorthodox policies, his personal fearlessness and his overall popularity have kept Trump a media target.
The Democrat Party is down and I am all for kicking it as hard and as often as we can. DC is all a-flutter over this as they watch helpless as Trump takes down the evil empire Democrats made of the federal government. The swamp was drained 200 years ago when they built the city. He is simply cleaning house. (Snip)
Democrats are gazing at their navels trying to figure out what to do next. The Resistance of 2017 won’t work this time because they cannot bogeyman Trump because Americans have already experience on Trump presidency. They know he’s not Hitler.
For years, the Democratic political figures, liberal activists, and the resistance movement writ large have drawn morbid comfort from the fact that Donald Trump’s supporters were, frankly, quite old.
The Trump phenomenon, they believed, had an expiration date sometime in the near future: Young voters would replace their parents and grandparents as demographics shifted, and all would be right — or rather, left — with the world.
The 2024 election has shattered these hopes.
Trump’s gains with young people are so massive that Gen Z might as well be called Gen Trump.
Data guru David Shor laid bare this stark reality in an interview with The New York Times’ Ezra Klein last week;
More migrants are fleeing into Canada across the border than are coming south into the US after President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, sources told The Post.
Homeland Security sources said that there are “lots of northbounders” now running scared and “self-deporting” from the US with Trump back in office. In a remote stretch of Washington state, border agents report seeing an average of five migrants crossing illegally north into Canada each day.
The numbers were starting to pick up even before the Trump administration began in full force.
